Chapter 701 701 Assassination, Suspected of the Qi Family
Xiao Shaorong had doubts in his heart and couldn't help but ask. After learning that the emperor had issued an order last night that people from the four major aristocratic families must not be stopped from going out, he asked no more questions.
When the young master of the Qi family dies, people from the four major aristocratic families will not say that everyone is in danger, but they will indeed feel uneasy. At this time, no matter what conflicts there are between the people of the four major aristocratic families, they will stop and investigate the matter first.
If the emperor does not allow people from the four major families to enter and leave the city at this time, it will inevitably lead to great chaos.
Xiao Shaorong led four guards and hurried out of the city, heading all the way towards the Yanbei military camp...
These four guards are the four most powerful people in the Xiao family, and the head of the Xiao family must have Xiao Shaorong bring them along.
Xiao Shaorong wanted to refuse, but after seeing his father's worried face, he did not refuse.
And when he encountered a series of sudden assassinations, he was even more fortunate that he did not refuse his father's arrangement, otherwise he would have died today.
Xiao Shaorong really didn't expect that someone in the dark would strike so quickly. He killed the young master of the Qi family last night, and as soon as he left the city today, he was assassinated.
"Protect the young master." The four guards of the Xiao family were extremely powerful. Facing the menacing men in black, the four guards of the Xiao family stood in front of them without fear.
Xiao Shaorong retreated behind him and frowned as he looked at the protector fighting with the man in black.
The group of people who assassinated him were very powerful. Of course, this is not the point. The point is, how could these people arrange for people to wait for him here in such a short period of time?
His departure from the city to the military camp was a temporary move, and no one knew about it beforehand. These people sent so many people to wait for him on the road in such a short period of time. It can be seen that the other party received the news as soon as he left the city.
Could it be that there is a spy in the Xiao family?
If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble today.
The other party knew his whereabouts well, and must also know the strength of the Xiao family's guards. The people sent at this time must be stronger than his guards.
Soon, things developed as Xiao Shaorong expected. With no more than a hundred moves to fight, the Xiao family's guards gradually fell behind and were no match for the other party.
"Young Master, these people are dead soldiers, we are no match for them, leave quickly." The guards of the Xiao family also knew that they were outmatched, and immediately told Xiao Shaorong to leave, but...
Who among them can guarantee that Xiao Shaorong will be safe if he leaves? No one will ambush him in front? No one will ambush him if he retreats?
"We can't leave." Xiao Shaorong knew very well that the other party came prepared and was extremely well prepared. Unless he killed these dead soldiers, there would be no way for him to survive even if he left.
"Young Master..." The guard who rushed to the front wanted to persuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stabbed through the heart by a dead soldier.
The guard let out a groan of pain, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth. The raised knife fell slowly. When the dead man pulled out the knife, the guard fell softly to the ground.
"Bastard!" Xiao Shaorong's eyes flashed with pain. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword and wanted to take action several times, but finally held back.
He cannot take action at this time. Once he takes action and rushes to the front, he will inevitably become the target of the dead soldiers' attack.
A dead soldier is not afraid of death. He will even risk his life in order to complete the mission, and he has no scruples in making moves. However, the Xiao family's guards are not good enough. If he falls into a battle, he will inevitably make the Xiao family's guards helpless. Not only will they not be able to help, but they will
Add to chaos.
"Young Master, leave quickly, we can't hold on much longer." One of the Xiao family's guards fell, and three of the dead soldiers also fell. But even so, the Xiao family's guards still had no chance of winning.
Staying here will lead to a dead end. If you retreat or move forward, you may encounter dead soldiers. The danger is also not small. How to choose at this time is very important to Xiao Shaorong.
However, Xiao Shaorong did not spend too much time thinking. Although it would be faster to retreat to the capital at this time, his intuition told him that it would be safest to risk going to the military camp at this time.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Shaorong mounted his horse and continued to run forward...
The dead men in black saw Xiao Shaorong leaving, but they did not make any move. They still entangled the Xiao family's guards dutifully, and fought with the Xiao family's guards inextricably.
"No, the front is more dangerous." When the Xiao family guards saw this situation, they knew that leaving their young master was not the safest option. But now that Xiao Shaorong was gone, it was too late for them to call him back.
And, is it really safe to stay?
As soon as Xiao Shaorong ran out and saw that the dead man did not catch up, he knew there was danger ahead, but he did not stop, let alone turn around and go back.
The other party is fully prepared. No matter where he goes, he will eventually die. Instead of hiding and shrinking, it is better to face it directly...
As expected, Xiao Shaorong ran less than a thousand meters when four dead men in black flew out from both sides. Without even saying hello, these four men raised their swords and slashed at Xiao Shaorong.
Xiao Shaorong himself was pretty good, but these four dead men in black were not bad either, and the four of them had a perfect understanding of each other, both advancing and retreating, and defending, and they didn't give Xiao Shaorong any chance to breathe.
"In order to kill me, you really went to trouble." Arranging so many people along the way, you really think highly of him.
Xiao Shaorong stared coldly at the dead soldiers in front of him, but the only answer he received was the merciless attacks of the dead soldiers...
The four dead men joined forces, and Xiao Shaorong had no chance of winning. After barely holding on for a while, Xiao Shaorong gradually showed his defeat. But at this moment, his familiar figure appeared.
They were the same four people, also dressed in black, with black cloth covering their faces, but with just one look, Xiao Shaorong knew who they were.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Shaorong's eyes lit up when he saw the four men in black running toward him.
Saved.
"By your order, the king, I will protect you." The four men in black who followed were the secret guards of Yanbei Palace. When they saw Xiao Shaorong trapped in a hard fight, they immediately accelerated their speed, jumped up and joined the battle.
The abilities of the secret guards and the dead soldiers are comparable. With their addition, the dead soldiers not only cannot gain the upper hand, but also gradually fall into a disadvantage.
Ordinary people would inevitably retreat when encountering this kind of situation, but these four dead soldiers did not. They knew they could not defeat him, but they still insisted on accepting the fight, rushed to Xiao Shaorong desperately, and took action against Xiao Shaorong resolutely...
The dead soldiers mainly attacked Xiao Shaorong, and the secret guards could not help but restrain themselves in order to protect Xiao Shaorong. The secret guards, who thought Xiao Shaorong was an eyesore, immediately told Xiao Shaorong to stay behind and not interfere with their killing.
Xiao Shaorong was not a competitive person and did not distinguish between right and wrong. Hearing the words of the secret guard, he retreated obediently and gave up the battlefield to four equally matched people.
Without Xiao Shaorong standing in the way, and of course without Xiao Shaorong holding back the main force, the secret guards and the dead soldiers fought inextricably, and it was hard to tell the outcome. Until Xiao Shaorong, who was hiding behind, found an opening and killed a dead soldier with his own hands. The situation was
Only then did changes occur.
Now four against three, the dead soldiers had no chance of winning, and Xiao Shaorong was finally out of danger.
However, just when Xiao Shaorong was out of danger, another person with a good status outside the city died...
